SUN DOGS, You Really Don't Want To See Them.

These are "Sun Dogs" and you really don't want to see them (in person). What you have here is two pictures with a "sun Dog" on each side of the sun. If I had a panoramic camera we could eliminate one of the suns in the middle. The Sun Dogs almost form a rainbow around the sun.

The key to Sun Dogs is that it needs to be below 0 degrees outside or colder. The colder it is outside the more spectacular the Sun Dogs. When I woke up today it was 8 below zero (that's 40 degrees below freezing) actual air temperature. Then there is this thing called "Wind Chill". The weather service is warning that it will be windy today causing a wind chill of up to 45 degrees below zero.

What do we do when it's 45 degrees below zero? You make sure you have several layers of clothing on and you go out there and attend to business just like any other day. Obviously those who work out of doors need to come in frequently to avoid frostbite. On a day like today a person who is not properly dress may experience hypothermia within a few short minutes.

Harvesting Phoenix, Arizona's Bounty:
Purchasing a Second Home in the Beautiful Southwest

If you were to ask someone whether or not they would like to own a fantastic second home perfect for vacations, holiday gatherings, or winter time retreats, in a beautiful location with a perfect climate, they would probably not even bother to answer that question because they would automatically assume it was rhetorical. Taking action on that question by Harvesting Phoenix, Arizona's current real estate Bounty by Purchasing a Second Home in the Beautiful Southwestwould be a very tangible and well timed answer today.

But for most people, unfortunately, actually hoping for such a thing would fall into the realm of the impossible dream. Most if asked such a question would no doubt put it out of their minds immediately after answering the query with a raised eyebrow and a 'what can you do?' shrug.

While times have indeed been difficult for sellers, for buyers in Phoenix, AZ, things have never been better to consider purchasing a first or second home. Historically low interest rates and falling home prices have opened up exciting possibilities for those who are looking to purchase rather than sell, and this includes those who would love nothing better than to enhance their quality of lives by acquiring a fabulous second home in a favorite destination like Phoenix, AZ.

Phoenix, Arizona has many Buyers opportunities

The state of Arizona is one of the most attractive tourist areas in the entire United States, and it has long been a favorite of retirees as well. Visitors and migrants are drawn by its dry mild climate, the beauty of its desert and mountain landscapes, and the endless variety of outdoor activities it has to offer to those of all ages. For those in the market for a second home, Arizona would certainly be an ideal destination, and the current conditions, for those in search of this perk of the good life, are more favorable right now then they have been for decades. In fact, it might be necessary to go all the way back to the days of the Homestead Act to find real estate prices that were more of a bargain for aspiring Arizonans than what is available at this very moment.

The Arizona housing market features a plethora of lovely and architecturally diverse homes that are for sale on buyer-friendly terms that redefine the concept of reasonable. Bank owned and short sale properties are common in most cities in the state, and many of these orphaned houses waiting for adoption by eager buyers are perfect for second home ownership and part-time occupation because of their low maintenance requirements and location in gated communities or other secure neighborhoods.

Home sellers in Phoenix, Arizona have had to adjust to the new realities; it is true. But home buyers are facing a new reality as well, and what this means is that while finding an affordable second home may have been an impossible dream before, now the situation is far different.

For those with relatively modest incomes, owning a second home is not as far out of reach as they may have been led to believe, and while each person's situation is different, the fact remains that many of those purchasing their dream retreats are not wealthy people by any stretch of the imagination.

Living and Dreaming in the New Reality

Low interest rates, low home prices, a beautiful natural environment, High tech employment and a wonderful quality of life – these are the things from which dreams are made. Phoenix, Arizona is a place where all things are possible, and that includes the dream of owning a second home.

So take action now by contacting me to assist you in Harvesting Phoenix, Arizona's current real estate Bounty by Purchasing a Second Home in the Beautiful Southwest.
